35 The king appointed Benaiah the son of Jehoiada over the army in Joab’s place, and appointed Zadok the priest in place of Abiathar.
Shimei Executed
36 Now the king sent word and called for Shimei and said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there. Do not go from there to [a]any other place. 37 For on the day you leave and cross over the [b]Brook Kidron, know for certain that you shall surely die; your blood shall be on your own head.”
